I actually think this could be pretty cool. Major consultations have an equal chance of telling you things about yourself, that you might not know. Like when you've nearly earned a bounty, or are close to the standing required for a certain ship, etc.

/msg "*Oracle" consultation
**Oracle* Do you wish the five minute consultation, or the full half-hour?
/msg "*Oracle" Just the Five minute, thanks.
**Oracle* A major consultation will cost you 10000 credits. Do you agree to this payment?
/msg "*Oracle" yes. Is this the right oracle for a consultation?
**Oracle* I've told you once.
/msg "*Oracle" No you haven't.
**Oracle* Yes I have.
/msg "*Oracle" When?
**Oracle* Just now!
/msg "*Oracle" No you didn't.
**Oracle* Yes I did!
/msg "*Oracle" Didn't.
**Oracle* Did.
/msg "*Oracle" Didn't.
**Oracle* I'm telling you I did!
/msg "*Oracle" You did not!
**Oracle* I'm sorry, is this a five minute consultation, or the full half-hour?
/msg "*Oracle" Oh, just a five minute one.
**Oracle* Fine. Thank you. Anyway I did.
/msg "*Oracle" You most certainly did not.
**Oracle* Now, let's get one thing quite clear... I most definitely told you!
/msg "*Oracle" You did not.
**Oracle* Yes I did.
/msg "*Oracle" You did not.
**Oracle* Yes I did.
/msg "*Oracle" Didn't.
**Oracle* Yes I did.
/msg "*Oracle" Didn't.
**Oracle* Yes I did!!
/msg "*Oracle" Look this isn't an consultation.
**Oracle* Yes it is.
/msg "*Oracle" No it isn't, it's just contradiction.
**Oracle* No it isn't.
/msg "*Oracle" Yes it is.
**Oracle* It is not.
/msg "*Oracle" It is. You just contradicted me.
**Oracle* No I didn't.
/msg "*Oracle" Ooh, you did!
**Oracle* No, no, no, no, no.
/msg "*Oracle" You did, just then.
**Oracle* No, nonsense!
/msg "*Oracle" Oh, look this is futile.
**Oracle* No it isn't.
/msg "*Oracle" I came here for a good consultation.
**Oracle* No you didn't, you came here for a consultation.
/msg "*Oracle" Well, a consultation's not the same as contradiction.
**Oracle* It can be.
/msg "*Oracle" No it can't. An consultation is a visit with an oracle to learn one's future.
**Oracle* No it isn't.
/msg "*Oracle" Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction.
**Oracle* Look, if I consult you, I must take up a contrary position.
/msg "*Oracle" But it isn't just saying "No it isn't".
**Oracle* Yes it is.
/msg "*Oracle" No it isn't, a consultation is an intellectual process... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
**Oracle* No it isn't.
/msg "*Oracle" Yes it is.
**Oracle* Not at all.
/msg "*Oracle" Now look!
**Oracle* Thank you, good morning.
/msg "*Oracle" What?
**Oracle* That's it. Good morning.
/msg "*Oracle" But I was just getting interested.
**Oracle* Sorry the five minutes is up.
/msg "*Oracle" That was never five minutes just now!
**Oracle* I'm afraid it was.
/msg "*Oracle" No it wasn't.
**Oracle* I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to consult any more.
/msg "*Oracle" What!?
**Oracle* If you want me to go on consulting, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
/msg "*Oracle" But that was never five minutes just now... oh come on!
*Oracle* ...
/msg "*Oracle" This is ridiculous.
**Oracle* I'm very sorry, but I told you I'm not allowed to consult unless you've paid.
/msg "*Oracle" Oh. All right.
/givemoney "*Oracle" 10000
/msg "*Oracle" There you are.
**Oracle* Thank you.
/msg "*Oracle" Well?
**Oracle* Well what?
/msg "*Oracle" That was never five minutes just now.
**Oracle* I told you I'm not allowed to consult unless you've paid.
/msg "*Oracle" I've just paid.
**Oracle* No you didn't.
/msg "*Oracle" I did! I did! I did!
**Oracle* No you didn't.
/msg "*Oracle" Look I don't want that sort of consultation.
**Oracle* Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay.
/msg "*Oracle" Aha! Well if I didn't pay, why are you consulting... got you!
**Oracle* No you haven't.
/msg "*Oracle" Yes I have... if you're consulting I must have paid.
**Oracle* Not necessarily. I could be consulting in my spare time.
/msg "*Oracle" I've had enough of this.
**Oracle* No you haven't.

quite a few are homeless beggars
